(Tıp, İlaç) İskelet kaslarında, kalp kasında ve beyin dokusunda bulunan, fosfokreatin’den bir fosfat gurubunun adenozin difosfat’a geçişini katalize ederek sonuçta kreatin ve adenozin trifosfat oluşmasını sağlayıcı enzim; kreatin kinaz
English - English
(Tıp, İlaç) Creatine kinase (CK), also known as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) or phospho-creatine kinase (and sometimes wrongly as creatinine kinase), is an enzyme expressed by various tissues and cell types. CK catalyses the conversion of creatine and consumes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create phosphocreatine and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). This CK enzyme reaction is reversible, such that also ATP can be generated from PCr and ADP
{i} enzyme found in muscle and released into the blood following a muscle injury (one type is released only by cardiac muscle, and is used as a test for heart attack and cardiac damage assessment), CPK
